The lemon water is great for your body to detox your system. It has a number of benefits including:
- Potassium- lemon is a good source helping the heart, and nerves to function well.
- Weight loss- lemon water helps to curb cravings.
- Reduce Inflammation- lemon water reduces acidity in the body, including uric acid. Uric acid in the joints is a leading cause of joint inflammation.
- Digestion- promotes healthy secretion of stomach acid to aid digestion. Promotes bowl movements.
- Hydration- The body can get very dehydrated overnight. This will rehydrate the body.
- Liver Function- The liver works very hard when you sleep to de-tox your body. Drinking lemon water assists with flushing the toxins out of the body.
Action2
Review your goals from week one for improving your health for 3 weeks, 3 months and 3 years.
Review your goals from week one for improving your health for 3 weeks, 3 months and 3 years.
Review your progress on your goals. Because I am doing this challenge each week, instead of every day there is more time to work on goals.
Action 3
You need to decide your Big Why. Why do you want to improve your health. The bigger the reason the more likely you are to be successful. My Big Why is to keep my CMT from progression. I need to exercise, take care of my spine, manage my weight and eat healthy. I have to take care of my body because there is no treatment and no cure.

My Big Why keeps me motivated. You need to find your Big Why. It needs to be a why that will motivate you when things get tough.
